Earth Hour. Earth Day. What’s next?

by Kiat Teng

Earth Hour was over in March and Earth Day was over in April. May has arrived but thoughts on the environmental issue wandered to my mind again. An article inside the Singapore Scientist magazine reminded me that while individual efforts matter, we could not deny the impact caused by industrialisation on our environment, and we… Continue reading »

Snails – A salty memory?

by Kiat Teng

Recently, I posted a photo of the underside of a snail which was crawling vertically up a tank on our Science Communication Facebook page “Science It“. When I shared the photo with my friends, there were several responses. One said he used to be crazy over snails during his Primary School days, and even kept… Continue reading »

Obsession with snails

by Kiat Teng

The latest obsession by our blogging team (or part of it) seemed to be the snail community in the Science Centre Singapore (latest addition to our exhibitions). Earlier this week, snails eggs have been discovered by Danny in both the terrestrial and aquatic tank (Read his blog entry here and check out the pictures taken… Continue reading »

An Earth Day Afterthought

by Kiat Teng

A couple of weeks back, I blogged about my thoughts on the environmental issue. A couple of days ago, I heard the topic being spoken of during the ASPAC 2012 Conference (http://aspac2012.com) held here in Science Centre Singapore. During his keynote address on the third day of the conference, Professor Kerry Sieh, Director of the… Continue reading »

Exploration of the Science Centre Singapore Ecogarden (Part 2) – The Tree House

by Kiat Teng

I had gone to the Ecogarden again to double-check the name of a tree which I previously took a photograph of. Like the first time, I was at the garden in the late morning where the sun shined beautifully upon the greens in the garden. I was lucky to meet our plant specialist, Mr Tan,… Continue reading »

Exploration of the Science Centre Singapore Ecogarden (Part 1)

by Kiat Teng

It started off with a meeting outside the Ecolab, pleasantly complemented by the harmonious chirping of the birds (or so I imagined) and the sight of hummingbirds hovering over the flowers. Gone with December were the rain and the cold breeze. Hence, my mini exploration took place under the bright cheery morning sun. In fact,… Continue reading »

Once in a red moon

by Kiat Teng

It was a joy to watch the last Total Lunar Eclipse of 2011. In fact, it would be three years later before we could see a Total Lunar Eclipse again. My husband and I arranged with some friends to watch the eclipse at Jurong Lake Park near our place. We were blessed with clear sky… Continue reading »

Reaching for the Stars

by Kiat Teng

It was an exciting moment for me to be just 5 rows apart from the Japanese astronaut who have been to space twice and clocked 6 months in space and 20 hours of space walk. I have been a great fan of a Japanese Manga (“Manga” is comics in the Japanese language) on the story… Continue reading »

Have you ever seen the moon drop?

by Kiat Teng

  Have you ever looked up the night sky within a half-an-hour time frame and found that the moon has “dropped”? The first photo was taken on 5 Aug 11.10pm while the second photo was taken at  11.51pm. But of course, this was just the moon’s oscillation around earth, and if you can catch the… Continue reading »
